Until now. After being unable to get permission to take the real heart to Jerusalem we made our own heart from Bruce oak wood and took it to the Holy Land and granted King Robert the Bruce's last wish. </p><p></p><p>This book tells the story of that journey. </p><p></p><p>'I commend this book as a fitting tribute to King Robert in his 750th anniversary year but also as the culmination of diligent and painstaking research.' - Lord Charles Bruce 12th Earl of Elgin</p><p></p><p></p>
